- Why are there 2 different gtkdialog links ? /usr/bin/gtkdialog and /usr/sbin/gtkdialog

- Still those 3 big bad files :
/usr/lib/libLLVM-3.0.so.1
/usr/lib/libicudata.so.48.1.1
/usr/lib/seamonkey-2.17.1/libxul.so
Is it possible to remove the first 2 ones, and replace seamonkey with lighter software.Edited_time_total

After reading Barry's blog post about whether Precise could replace Wary, I've had a crack at running it on my trusty K6-2 500 machine and, as I suspected I might, I'm having problems.

I'm booting from the CD, effectively pfix=ram as I haven't set anything up yet. It's getting as far as setting up the layered file system, but is throwing a kernel panic at the switch root phase. I've attached a photo of the screen. At this point it is also flashing the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights on the keyboard.

retrovol again doesn't choose/maybe it shouldn't? right snd_card (in my particular case have multiple cards). no big deal doing it manualy but that will not attract more users/maybe it shouldn't? [replaced hw:0 to hw:1 & unmuted speaker]. wifi works like a charm with SNS (simple network setup by BK) SEES NO MODULE in wlan section but WORKS (refused 'wl' for BCM4313 and no more experiments ). my #1 puppy. Thank's BK and others.

It's a first-time boot from the disc so there is no save, but it also does it if I explicitly tell it to boot pfix=ram - hardware may not be compatible but on other Puppies that don't work it explicitly mentioned the lack of cmov and I don't think they got as far as trying to switch root._________________Zhaan - AMD K6 2 500, 512MB RAM, ATI Rage 128 VR.

Sorry to be pedantic but booting from a CD will not prevent puppy looking for and loading anything that contains the string “precisesave” that just might still be on a hard drive or attached device. Such an old file from another Pup will cause a panic.

The only ways to prevent this are:

F2 followed by “puppy pfix=ram” (the puppy followed by the space is vital)

Or

Before you boot from the CD rename any old precisesave files by placing an x at the start. E.g. xprecisesave.

The above may well not apply in your case but I think it is worth mentioning. That code is AFAIK the only certain way of preventing the automatic search for save files when booting from CD._________________Regards ETP

Finally got around to moving to 5.6.1 on the Athlon XP install.Zero problems so far.
Pleasantly surprised by how fast the PPM updated the package database..... much,much faster than in the past. All looking good so far.
